November 01, 2005

Welcome to Jonathan Zar

I am very pleased to announce that Jonathan Zar will be joining me as a co-host of the show. Jonathan is the Secretary of the VoIP Security Alliance (VOIPSA) and is employed by SonicWall. (In the interest of full disclosure, I should also indicate that I am Mitel's rep to the VOIPSA Technical Board of Advisors.) I am delighted that Jonathan will be participating and our first joint effort will be posted shortly.

Full Disclosure

Jonathan Zar is affiliated with Pingalo and is the Secretary of VOIPSA and member of the Board of Directors.

This is a personal project and neither the Internet Society, Pingalo nor VOIPSA have any formal connection to this podcast. In the interest of transparency we just thought you should know our affiliations.

Why "Blue Box"?

We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
